Evaluating Sources for Perspective

Check out Allsides for current information

Always Ask:

  • Where does the information come from?
  • Who created the source?
  • What  is the purpose of the source?
    • (Inform, offer opinion, persuade, misinform?)
  • What perspective or bias might it have?

What might be a different perspective on your topic?

What kind of source might give you a different perspective? Where will you look for that source?

Google, AI and Evaluating Sources

Google now brings up AI Summaries of information created by AI.  It finds the information on the internet.  Is information on the internet always reliable?  So, what does that say about the AI summaries?

AI summaries are not sources. Look for the sources to identify where the information came from.
